Crafting the Croissant
This hands-on workshop offers a confidence-building deep dive into the craft of croissant making. Designed to demystify a notoriously intimidating pastry into a practical skill for the home baker. Guests will learn the science of lamination, fermentation, butter management, and timing. Understanding not just how to make croissants, but why each step matters, and simplifying where the process can bend to fit real life. We will unpack common pitfalls, adaptable rules, and expert "hacks" that will make croissants repeatable rather than precious. If you've never smelled or tasted a fresh from the oven homemade croissant, this would be reason enough to attend! Watching the careful folds separate into crisp, golden layers, each one a small, flaky victory for its creator, the aroma of butter and warm dough, and the melt in your mouth buttery layers is all the reward needed for such a technical bake accomplished. Guests leave with a deeper structural understanding of laminated dough, bellies full of butter and carbs, and croissant dough to take home and bake, so they can keep practicing in their own kitchens this once-daunting magical French pastry that is the croissant. Ticket Price includes one Complimentary beverage.
